The "Golden Amper 2007" (Zlaty Amper) was awarded to the battery-free and wireless switch element, EnOcean easyfit, as the best trade fair exhibit at the Amper 2007 in Prague. At the 15th International Electrotechnics and Electronics Trade Fair held from 27 – 30 March 2007, Czech distributor “WM OCEAN” presented EnOcean’s revolutionary technology for building installa-tions to more than 50,000 visitors attracted to the event by a wide variety of product innovations and current trends.

The EnOcean universal element operates entirely without batteries and thus needs no maintenance. Used with a switch actuator, it can switch consumer loads wirelessly to achieve transmission ranges typically of 30m in buildings and up to 300m in free space. Using an integrated energy generator, the EnOcean radio switches are powered with each press of the button. EnOcean easyfit easily fits into the appropriate design frame and can be screwed or glued to a wall – cutting holes and installing wall boxes for light and roller-blind switches has thus become a thing of the past, saving two thirds of the wiring typically required in a building.

In the Czech Republic, the innovative technology is sold via the specialised distributor, WM OCEAN. Along with the easily installed end products for building automation, WM OCEAN also offers the technology modules, including miniaturised energy generators and radio components for integration in different OEM product.
